Model discrete events with probability distribution tables, understand Binomial distribution conditions, and compute exact and cumulative probabilities.
[Understand and use simple, discrete probability distributions (calculation of mean and variance of discrete random variables is excluded), including the binomial distribution, as a model; calculate probabilities using the binomial distribution]
Select an appropriate probability distribution for a context, with appropriate reasoning, including recognising when the binomial or Normal model may not be appropriate
